Poms & Associates is an independent insurance brokerage and risk management firm that helps organizations protect people, operations, assets, and their future. It combines insurance placement with hands-on risk control services—such as safety assessments, training, claims advocacy, and regulatory guidance—to identify exposures, reduce losses, and improve long-term outcomes. Unlike firms that treat risk control as an add-on, Poms makes risk control central to its service, offering personalized attention with national reach and industry-specific expertise across nonprofits, public entities, education, manufacturing, construction, real estate, transportation, and more. The company’s goal is to move clients beyond simply buying insurance toward building safer, more resilient operations. It also operates POPS, Pacific Ocean Production Studios, a subsidiary aimed at addressing systemic issues of child sexual abuse, exploitation, and grooming on school campuses and in youth organizations.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • July 2026 SB848 compliance creates immediate demand for POPS across California schools.
  • Angie Richards joined in 2023, strengthening employee benefits expertise for growth accounts.
  • Logan, Albuquerque, Rocklin, and Walnut Creek locations support regional hiring and sales expansion.

What critics are saying

  • POPS depends on SB848 enforcement; weak school demand would shrink a new revenue line.
  • Brokerage talent concentration around David Poms and Chris Poveromo creates succession risk.
  • National brokers can undercut specialized benefits and M&A advisory fees, compressing margins.

What makes Poms & Associates unique

  • Poms & Associates serves California schools with POPS, tied to SB848 compliance.
  • David Poms expanded into Logan, Utah, adding multi-state operating capacity by 2026.
  • The brokerage emphasizes acquisition-led growth and specialized risk management for complex clients.
